-
Prepare the Ingredients:
- Begin by finely blending the chicken breast and garlic cloves until you achieve a smooth consistency. If you prefer, you can use a food processor for this step.
- Grate the carrot using a cheese grater and set it aside.
- Thinly slice the celery and green onion.
-
Mix the Ingredients:
- In a large bowl, combine the blended chicken and garlic mixture with the eggs, grated carrot, and all the other ingredients including the all-purpose flour, tapioca flour, sugar, salt, and ground black pepper.
- Mix everything thoroughly until all ingredients are well incorporated and the mixture is evenly combined.
-
Prepare the Steaming Pan:
- Preheat your steamer or prepare a pot for steaming.
- Lightly grease a small baking dish or heat-resistant pan with Blue Band or any other butter substitute.
-
Steam the Mixture:
- Pour the chicken mixture into the prepared pan and smooth it out with a spoon to ensure an even layer.
- Place the pan into the preheated steamer and steam for about 20 minutes, or until fully cooked and firm.
-
Cool and Cut:
- Once cooked, remove the pan from the steamer and let it cool slightly.
- Cut the steamed mixture into nugget-sized pieces.
-
Coat and Freeze:
- Prepare your coating station by setting up a small pack of Sajiku seasoning mix and breadcrumbs or panko in separate dishes.
- Dip each nugget into the Sajiku seasoning mix, then coat it with breadcrumbs, making sure each piece is well-covered.
- If you plan to store them for later, arrange the coated nuggets on a baking sheet and freeze until solid. Once frozen, transfer the nuggets to a freezer-safe bag or container for easy storage.
-
Cooking Tips:
- For a crispier texture, you can pan-fry the coated nuggets in a small amount of oil over medium heat until golden brown on all sides.
- These nuggets make a great snack or can be served with your favorite dipping sauces.
